F.O.: Breton

I recently finished the striped sweater that I started knitting last year - just in time for spring, which is nice because it is a lighter weight sweater.

Pattern: Breton by Jared Flood from BT Fall 12 Yarn: Cascade 220 Fingering in White and Navy Needles: size US 3

This sweater took a little bit of time to knit considering it is made with fingering weight yarn. I absolutely love the Cascade 220 Fingering. It is nice and soft and light and you truly cannot beat the price. It was a fairly easy knit because it was straight stockinette but I wasn't bored knitting it because of the stripes and the also all of the design details like the French seams at the shoulder and the decreasing at the neckline and to finish it with the rolled collar.

The mods I made were minor. I had to add an inch and a half of length to the body and an inch to the sleeves. Other than that I stuck to the pattern. I am so pleased with the way it turned out. It fits like a dream and I love it. My husband thinks it is one of the best things that I have knit yet. This style is something that is so classic, I am so glad to have this addition to my wardrobe. It will definitely get a lot of wear.
